Tvheadend with no ethernet

Added by Steve Whitaker about 6 years ago

I'm trying to create a standalone instance of TVH and Kodi for a relative with no internet connection. I've got TVH to start and play channels by removing:

After=network-online.service
Requires=network-online.service

from the startup script for TVH but the TV Guide never imports. I can see Kodi whizzing through channels and thus importing nothing. I only have the OTA: Freeview grabber loading and bizarrely when I connect the ethernet to the internet it magically loads channels even though I don't have an internet grabber enabled!

Is there any reason TVH wouldn't grab OTA data with no internet connection? I've tried plugging the device into a router with no internet connection to see if it was something to do with DHCP but I can't get OTA data then either!

Tvheadend should not need, but not sure about kodi. You say you "see Kodi whizzing through channels", but gave you looked at the tvheadend webif? At the tvheadend logs?
What hardware - or more importantly what OS?

It's quite tricky to get into the webif when there's no ethernet connected :) If i connect ethernet then webif is showing the tvguide populating and kodi does to. I wasn't sure about the time settings but I realise from the forum that I need to set it manually in the network table. I'm running LibreElec on a Pi B+

It is not so tricky to connect the ethernet but not connect to the internet. :)

I don't think you have to update the time manually. In Configuration->General->Base (Miscellaneous) tick the box "Update time (from EPG)". It gets the date from the tv broadcast (same as dvbdate command).
